"Hey Bob, big hole it, there's something on the tracks ahead!!"
Lifted from Ar-Technica, the thing firing ahead was moved out there via the
Russian version of the ALCO RSD-7 looking variant.

Yes, that's the one that had the slight missive in the third stage.

If this is a relavant TO post, then why was my post with this image pulled?  I think mine is much cooler!

After all, you are looking at the world's largest submarine ever built; the Russian Typhoon Class "boomer".  The Russians only built six and only the one in the Black Sea remains as a test bed for new missiles.  The book and movie,  "Hunt for Red October" was based on this type submarine.

Yes indeed, I admit that your shot has tracks that used those Russian Alco copies.  I guess I lose this one...sigh.  It is a fine shot, too.

Oh well, I have never seen a 40,000 ton "Boomer" on railroad tracks.

that is a great pic of that sub...........

Close, it was the older version of Soyuz not the new version that carries people, isn't that
reassuring?

Actually it is. The older version has gotten the bugs worked out. 
The new one, not so much.

Here's a photo off alt.binaries.pictures.scenic (I think) showing the movement to the pad.

That almost looks like the DQ commercial where the girl in the back seat says "I can't believe we got the tree on the car".

 Gives a whole new meaning to "hot rail".
